In the main I found, compost, I bought last year was poor quality, it was more luck than design that the occassional bag was good quality, so, thought ahead and made most of my own compost for this year.
Mine is a small garden with only three veg beds and a couple of flower beds so was able to store enough leaf mould and had space for a bin of horse muck to happily rot down over last year. This went on the veg beds in the autumn and along with spent compost from a failed Xmas spud crop which has been used to mulch the flower beds, what's in the full darlek will be for pots.
I'd advise a mix of bought and home grown compost.
Good luck with what you've bought.
Loppers with extending handles, great for reaching the neighbours climbers as they start to creep over the fence, a pair of pink handled secateurs, only pair that have never been lost, and a new favourite, I've just bought a seed sowing kit from Wilkinson's with dibber, seed disperser, fine sieve and a little thingy which you lower seedlings into compost with.
Just watched GW on iplayer. Enjoyed most of the programme but it all can't appeal to everyone. Liked Monty's raised veg beds and recycled path, nice to see Nigel and the stray chicken running across the camera's view .
Looking forward to Beachgrove.
Hi, Daniel..
My reviews also stand at 1256 and today I'm supposed to have posted this..
Posted: 08 March 2013 Overall: I have bought and planted hellebore orientalis seeds 2 years running. kept them in the greenhouse but have had no germination at all. where am i going wrong ?
Haven't been through the 1256 reviews but suspect I haven't reviewed any of the plants mentioned and certainly haven't sown hellebore orientalis seeds two years running.
Joyce. I already have lots of different veg seeds, more than enough for this year. If anyone does want any veg seeds though I'm happy to swap some of my extra seeds.
Wet and windy here.
The wind must have been quite strong as when I got home it had ripped a 9ft long plastic covered, metal framed, cloche out of the ground and blown it across the garden. The GH stopped it in it's tracks, luckily none of the glass was broken.
figrat. You'll soon know if you have sweet pea.
I remember the thread about Christmas tree's now, just been through it again. Some nice tree's and good advise. I also contributed but don't know how to retrieve old threads.
It looks like a Norwegian Spruce, will pot it up as advised and move it to a shady spot in the summer, that's if we get one this year. It would be nice if it did grow 3ft.
I also bought three tiny variegated conifers before winter last year, wasn't sure what to do with those but presumably they can be treated the same as the Spruce.
Just goggled litchen and got kitchen first off but second attempt with the correct spelling, found an interesting site all about them. Thanks Dovefromabove, doesn't appear to be anything to worry about.
Even though I've a cloth tube under the stairs to store 'old bags' in. I nearly always forget to take bags when shopping.
I realise approaching the till I've forgotten my bags and go round the supermarket again looking for a box knowing the till person will glare at me disapprovingly for not bringing bags and begrudgingly get one from under the till when it's obvious from wants on the counter I'm gonna need at least six or more...
A bonus for shopping at Aldi the bags are on my side of the counter and you can get boxes...which compost down...

A decorated Iraq war veteran pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that he killed his wife, a Wauwatosa police officer.
Benjamin Sebena, 30, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the Christmas Eve killing of Jennifer Sebena, also 30. He was brought into court Thursday in a wheelchair and was wearing a suicide-prevention vest. Defense attorney Michael Steinle entered the plea on Sebena's behalf.
Jennifer Sebena was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds to the head, including wounds inflicted with her own police firearm.
Prosecutors say Benjamin Sebena acknowledged ambushing his wife while she conducted a pre-dawn patrol alone in Wauwatosa. The criminal complaint says he told investigators he was a jealous husband. Police, however, aren't speculating on a motive.
A trial date will be set March 1.

I guess I've had an off-and-on love affair with photography my whole life. My father was always taking pictures and movies when I was a kid growing up on Long Island, NY in the 1950s-60s, and he gave me my own Kodak Brownie camera when I was around 6 years old. I remember using it to take pictures of family events and a trip to Washington DC, back in 1958. I still have some of the pictures ....... somewhere. Photography moved to the back burner during high school, college, and law school, but I picked it up again after I graduated law school in 1979, moved to Washington DC, and began my legal career with the federal government. Being alone in a new city, I would take my camera wherever I went, and I was soon making my own prints in...

Sunday marked the People's Climate March, a global day of action against climate change ahead of Tuesday's UN summit, when world leaders will gather in New York to discuss proposals about how to best tackle the environmental crisis. Activities took place in over 2,600 cities around the world, including a 310,000-person march in New York, the biggest ever climate gathering. In Buenos Aires, environmental groups joined with campaigning group Avaaz to host an activity in the Bosques de Palermo, next to the Planetarium. The relaxed event gathered a few hundred people to enjoy the talks, music, theatre, and activities for all the family, whilst people mingled, exchanging ideas and mate among the crowds who had flocked to the park to enjoy the first day of Spring.

Comment: CRTC misjudging its political power (Score 2) 184
Someone might want to inform the CRTC bureaucrats of the consequences of pissing off at least 4-million voters — election of the party that promises to rid us of the CRTC. (Really, this would be about 25% of the electorate assuming that each Canadian Netflix account corresponds to a household with 1.6 voters.)
Gouge us, go to war, waste tens of billions of dollars, the public doesn't care. But cut off our entertainment — it's torches-and-pitchforks time!

Driver of the No. 34 Ford will have a retro look at Martinsville RELATED: Track your picks in the Perfect Chase Grid Challenge and Chase Battle Grid Presented by Toyota BUY: Purchase the No. 34 David Ragan Wendell Scott NASCAR Hall of Fame 2015 die-cast CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Taking the wraps off a new No. 34, revealing a car in the likeness of his famous father's racers, was enough to get Wendell Scott Jr.'s adrenaline pumping. The boldly styled number, the familiar pale and almost pewter blue against the backdrop of a modern Front Row Motorsports Ford had the next-generation Scott -- who claims to be 68 years old ("I've lied about it so much, I can't even remember") -- ready to turn back the clock himself Tuesday afternoon at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. "I'm ready to do some hot laps in that bad boy," Scott said, forming a wry grin. "Yeah, it is cool. It's our pet color. My brother Frankie used to do the bodywork on them, so it means a lot." When the car takes to the track Oct. 26 for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup's seventh battle at Martinsville Speedway , the driving duties will fall instead to David Ragan , but the name of 2015 Hall of Fame inductee Wendell Scott will still adorn the top of the driver's door. The car was part of a double-unveil Tuesday in the stock-car shrine's Great Hall; Darrell Wallace Jr. will change his traditional No. 54 to 34 for the fall race weekend in Martinsville, where he is the defending winner in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series . Though there were some subtle differences from the paint scheme on Ragan's 2014 Generation-6 model and the 1960s Chevrolet Impala tribute car carrying Scott's colors, many of the retro styling cues carried over. Ragan was among the team's biggest advocates for keeping the throwback look as authentic as possible, even down to the period-correct "380 horsepower" claim on the hood. "Cars back then just looked a little different," Ragan said. "Maybe they didn't have the opportunities for the graphics and designs, and a lot of this stuff was hand-lettered back in the day. Definitely, an honor to represent and really to drive a car similar to what a Hall of Famer did." The No. 34 has just three victories in NASCAR's premier series, but all have their place in the sport's history. -- Kansas native Jim Roper campaigned the No. 34 on the Lincoln that won the inaugural event for the NASCAR Strictly Stock Division, now the Sprint Cup Series. -- In 1963, Scott notched the first victory by an African-American driver in the top rung of the NASCAR ladder with the No. 34. That breakthrough stood as the only win by an African-American in a NASCAR national series until Wallace's triumph last fall at Martinsville, not far from Scott's hometown of Danville, Virginia. -- Almost 50 years after Scott's lone victory, Ragan posted a thrilling upset at Talladega Superspeedway in May 2013 for a 1-2 sweep by the Front Row team and a first trip to Victory Lane for team owner Bob Jenkins. Next month at Martinsville, Ragan hopes to make more history, but will need more horsepower than the 380 advertised. Ragan's team has faced challenges as a lesser-funded team competing against the sport's powerhouses. That gap was underscored last weekend as Ragan competed at Chicagoland Speedway as a Chase outsider. Ragan said that changes to the 2014 rules package left the Front Row team playing catch-up against its better-heeled rivals, issues that the organization aims to address as it presses on. "We have struggled a lot and have a lot of unanswered questions," Ragan said. "We're hoping that there's not a big change in the package going forward and we'll be able to continue to evolve." If the going gets tougher, Ragan said he's not afraid to get some dirt under his fingernails. Reminded that Scott once exited the cockpit to change his own tires during a pit stop in the sport's formative years, Ragan said he wouldn't hesitate to apply the same old-school type of elbow grease if the need arose. "I do have a mechanic in me, and I am certified to work on these cars a little bit, but I don't know that my crew chief will let me," Ragan cracked. "Hopefully our guys will be able to pick up the slack on the weekend and cover me, but if I had to -- if push came to shove -- I could get out and do a pit stop."

Blogpic It should come as no surprise that one of the first questions out of people's mouths after the Deepwater Horizon explosion and consequential oil spill is, "What's going to happen to the offshore drilling plan?"
I've heard a lot of folks pronounce this spill as the death knell to Obama's plan, but I find that hard to believe.
This is a massive spill (although the rate at which oil is being pumped above the seafloor is now in dispute), and we won't know the extent of the damage for a very long time. However, tragedies like this one serve as lessons learned. After the Exxon Valdez disaster, we got double-hulled tankers. That action may seem like a no-brainer now, but unfortunately, it often takes disaster on a massive scale for our government (or the international community, when it came to double hulls) to force industry into significant investments.
Hopefully, after Deepwater Horizon, our government will require sonar-activated blowout preventers. During the Bush administration, there was some talk of requiring these preventers on all rigs in U.S. waters, but the oil industry pushed back and said the $500,000 investment was too high, so the Minerals Management Service backed down. Now that cost seems laughable.
Sadly, it seems that for many decades at least, our government has been more in the business of protecting corporations than in protecting its own people. This is just another example of how that has come back to bite us. And the government officials who made it all happen? Happily retired. Good for them.
So what do we do? Well, we have to do what fishermen have understood and been doing for the last couple of decades: get involved in the process. Otherwise, you are sure to be left out, left behind and left in a lurch in the long run.

I stayed one night with my two sons for a weekend trip to the Zoo and Aquarium. The front desk staff were very friendly when we checked in. The room was clean and spacious, plenty of room to spread out from each other.
A hotel staff member by the name of Keith was exceptionally friendly and went out of his way to be helpful.
The breakfast buffet was very good, lots of food to choose from, the staff continuously made sure things were well stocked.
No negatives for this hotel, great place!

Arafat: No One Can Deny or Limit Refugees' Right to Return
Palestinian refugees to return to areas they were expelled from and
IMEMC & Agencies, April 15, 2004 Palestinian President Yasser Arafat confirmed Thursday the right of Palestinian refugees to return to areas they were expelled from and called for a full Israeli withdrawal to June 4, 1967 borders. Arafat was speaking at a press conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah, following an emergency meeting of the Palestinian leadership called to discuss Wednesday's Washington meeting between U.S. President George W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei accused the U.S. Administration with being totally biased against Palestinians. In a phone talk with U.S. Secretary of State Collin Powell, on Wednesday night, Qurei said: "the U.S. position is an absolute bias against the Palestinian position, and we fully reject these unilateral measures and their consequences" Palestinian sources said that Qurei is considering quitting his post in reaction to Bush's Wednesday comments. The European Union insisted that there could be no unilateral change in Middle East borders. "The European Union will not recognize any change to the pre-1967 borders other than those arrived at by agreement between the parties," Irish Foreign Minister Brian Cowen said on behalf of the EU presidency. Cowen also said that any settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict "must include an agreed, just, fair and realistic solution to the refugee issue". Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said late Wednesday that Israel should talk with the Palestinians before embarking on the disengagement plan. Israel has informed Washington that it will implement Sharon's disengagement plan by summer 2005. Sharon's letter to Bush also promises to limit construction in the territories to "built up areas". Talks will begin shortly between Israel and the U.S. over the definition of "built-up areas" of the settlements. Bush on Wednesday issued an enthusiastic endorsement Sharon's disengagement plan, calling it "brave and courageous." In a letter to Sharon, Bush said "new realities on the ground would have to be taken into consideration during final status negotiations, that Israel would not have to fully withdraw to the 1949 armistice lines, and that Palestinian refugees would return to the Palestinian state, not Israel. The letter states that the U.S. was committed to the road map and would do "its utmost" to prevent any other political plan from being imposed on Israel. The letter, as well, backs Israel's right to self-defense and combat terror from territories it evacuates. Regarding the separation fence being constructed by Israel in the West Bank, Bush said it should be a security barrier and should be temporary rather than permanent. Palestinians are worried about the practical and political consequences of the new U.S. position concerning the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Palestinian commentators commented by saying that "the Americans moved from being the guarantors of the existence of Israel into the supporters of its aggression against Palestinians and their land"

Peninsula Hospital's last gasp, a doctor's efforts
With closure looming Monday, a doctor at Peninsula Hospital has made a last-ditch legal effort to keep the facility open. Dr. Wayne Dodakian, a hospitalist fellow at the Far Rockaway facility, has filed for an injunction against the court-appointed trustee, Lori Lapin Jones, claiming that Jones misled the court to get the hospital to close quicker. Dodakian, also a creditor in the case, asserted that Jones should be removed as the sole authority at the hospital. The matter is set to come before a federal bankruptcy judge in Brooklyn on Monday in what promises to be a dramatic hearing. Peninsula's emergency department was slated to close on Monday at 9 a.m., but that could be pushed back if Dodakian's Hail Mary maneuver is successful.

Juice FM
Coordinates: 53°24′10″N 2°58′46″W / 53.4029°N 2.9795°W
|Broadcast area
|Liverpool's More Music Station
|107.6 MHz
|First air date
|27 March 1998
|Pop , RnB & Dance
|Audience share
|3.7% (December 2009, [1])
107.6 Juice FM is a British Independent Local Radio, set up in 1998 in Liverpool after the closing of alternative music station 107.6 Crash FM and its subsequent purchase by Forever Broadcasting. It launched with a format broadly in keeping with that of Crash, but with a greater amount of mainstream pop and dance music. The station is now owned by UTV Radio.
The station, which became Juice FM, began its life from 27, Fleet Street in Liverpool as 107 Crash FM on 27 March 1998 covering Liverpool. It developed from a handful of RSLs in the city and was driven by Janice Long plus backed by Bob Geldof, Primal Scream, Urban Splash and Kiss 102's Mike Gray & Boy George.
In the application for a full-time licence, Crash FM said it would provide an alternative rock and dance station, aimed at the 15 to 34 year old market in Liverpool and would get an audience of over 80,000 tuning in for 8 hours per week in the first year. The original shareholder slate also included CLT although they withdrew before launch with the 25% stake taken by Channel Radio.
Recent history[edit]
The station was acquired by Forever Broadcasting in late 1999 and relaunched as Juice 107.6 on 26 March 2000. By September of the same year, RAJAR had increased significantly.
In September 2003, Forever Broadcasting sold Liverpool's Juice 107.6FM to Absolute Radio (UK) Limited (AR-UK), a consortium made up of Ulster Television (UTV) and Eurocast, for £3.1m. The deal was the first agreed under Royal Assent and considering the new Communications Act. AR-UK were, at the time, making moves in the FM radio licence world, notably in the West Midlands and Glasgow.
The Chairman of AR-UK, John McCann expressed delight upon the acquisition of the Liverpool Juice station and referred to their determination to bid for several new licences in the future. They aimed to build on the success experienced by the Juice management team, putting additional funding into more localised programming, news and marketing, and to make the station number one for the young people of Liverpool. Juice Liverpool made an adjusted operating loss of £760,000 and at 30 September 2002 had net liabilities of £4.02m. Forever did not provide separate statutory accounts for the station. Absolute Radio UK later sold Juice FM to UTV Radio UK who were expanding their UK and USA radio business.
On Thursday 12th Jan 2012 the station has relocated from its previous home of 12 years on Fleet Street,to the heart of the retail district in a £1.1m investment overlooking the Albert Dock, as the stations space was getting smaller.
All of Juice's programming is presented and produced locally from its Liverpool studios in One Park West, Liverpool One.

Northrop Grumman Corporation has completed an integrated bridge system retrofit for several RoPax ferries operated by Stena Line.
Northrop Grumman's Sperry Marine business unit provided a fully networked suite of scalable navigation products from the VisionMaster FT series, used to form the core of a ship's integrated bridge.
The Stena Superfast VII and Stena Superfast VIII vessels were upgraded with VisionMaster FT navigation radars, a voyage data recorder, and an electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) that provides full control on both bridge wings. Meanwhile, the Stena Europe and Stena Adventurer were outfitted with the VisionMaster FT ECDIS, which meets the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) regulations for paperless navigation while providing a separate, redundant backup station in case the primary ECDIS navigation station is damaged or disrupted.
"Our highly reliable, flexible navigation solution provides leading edge situational awareness capabilities and improvements in radar performance to enhance the ships' safety at sea," said Alan Dix, managing director of Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine. "Additionally, it ensures compliance with new carriage requirements for greater navigational safety standards as set out by the IMO."
In addition to equipment, Northrop Grumman provided installation and training on the VisionMaster FT products. The company's customized, modular solution enables a high level of integration with the ships' current systems.
Stena Line operates ferries on 22 routes in Scandinavia, around the U.K. and to the Baltic countries. The company has a modern fleet of 38 vessels, including fast ferries, traditional combi-ferries, RoPax ferries for freight and passengers, and pure cargo ships.
Sperry Marine is a business unit of Northrop Grumman's Navigation and Maritime Systems Division. Headquartered in New Malden, U.K., with major engineering and support offices both in New Malden and in Hamburg, Germany, Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine provides smart navigation and ship control solutions for the international marine industry with customer service and support in numerous locations worldwide.

I'm getting Bayonetta 2 First Print Edition, so i can't buy it on eShop.

The petition forgets the most important thing.
VITA is dead outside Japan. Even Sony confirmed that 2 months ago that it was dead in EU and USA.
It was about time as especially MS had it for many years, then Sony at a later point. Strange that they started with selected games only.
I own this on N64 cartridge. The most expensive game i ever bought besides collector's editions.
Quick scroll to bottom. I don't want more level spoilers of this awesome game.
The trailer last week really showed how much effort that went into the game.
It was already day 1 purchase, but now its even more sure.
@c1pher_c0mplet : They were only able to make it with Nintendo and noone else.
Platinum cared more about being able to make it, and for it to not exist at all.
Nintendo also have final word, so it cant be ported.
This game looks much better than expected, and is clearly a day 1 buy for me 9 january.
Bayonetta 2 is my clear #1. I already pre-ordered Frist Print edition.
Captain Toad is the #2.
With the 1000 Smash Bros news the last year, it feels like that game have been out for ages already. Its not on my list for 2014 atleast.
I liked Puyo Puyo, so i would like to buy this one. I just hope it isn't overpriced.
EDGE gave Bayonetta 2 ...10/10.
The game is cool, but steep for such a old game.
Cubemen 2 is on Humble Bundle now for Android, PC, Mac and Linux.
This could spawn more online games.
I have cubemen 2 installed on Wii U, Steam, Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Tab 2.
I pre-ordered Bayo 2 First Print Edition with the nice book cover.
I finished Bayonetta 1 on PS3, but i did full install to HD as it was very slow from disc.
@THENAMESNORM : Thanks..I remember these NTSC/PAL issues now.
On PAL Amiga and CD32 i often set it to NTSC to speed up the games.
I will buy this on Wii U and Steam. I already own all TwoTribes games on both Wii U and Steam.
What was wrong with the PAL version?
If all previous DLC isn't included, then there is no selling point for the 6 month delay.
And the touch pad features is said to be a map, and maybe weapon selection.
@xVAKAR1ANx : If there is no sequel, just get any Dynasty Warriors game.
Actually there was a D.W. game on Wii U at launch too.
@ThomasBW84 : Exactly. The game would'nt reach top 20 without Zelda theme.
Loads of people who never played any of the 10 first Dynasty Warriors games, did buy this one only because of Zelda.
Armillo is a must buy. I bought it on day 1 of release myself.
It also just got a new big patch with improvements.
I pre-ordered the First Print Edition in that book case.
@llamareborn : Physical discs is always cheaper at Retail including PS3 and 360 games.
Download is always overpriced. I know, it doesen't make sense.
When and where is this expo?
Finally a game with good music.
If this is real, i don't expect it to be a port this time.
It could have been made from scratch like 1 year ago. We know how secretive Nintendo is. Also note that Monster Hunter 3 was a port to get it much quicker to the market.
Also remember that MH3 is the #1 selling third party game on Wii U, and was #1 online game before Mario Kart.
@Alucard83 : Yes, but its probably because of all the negativity this year.
Its not a big deal, because nothing stops us from buying Xbone and PS4 to get those. You should read this below.
There is only 3 major third parties coming for Wii U, but the third is unknown to most people. Everyone know of Project Cars and Watch Dogs .
Last week i got confirmation on mail that "Straight Right" in Australia still is porting a major third party game to Wii U.
The same dev made the awesome port of Mass Effect 3, but were also remaking Deus EX 3 for Wii U..Then later ported to PC, 360 and PS3.
Whats next headline?
A Disney fan robs a bank?
A car chase with a Mario Kart fan..
A movie lover steals some socks?
@Tobias95 The 2 local Gamestops near me is promoting Wii U well. One of them have a big Wii U wall which can be seen outside of store. I think they have over 60 Wii U games on shelve at all times with cover fronts facing shop entrance for people to see.
Other stores here mostly have Wii U exclusives and UBI Games in stock at all times. VITA however is nowhere to be found anywhere anymore, and not even 1 year ago.
I'm sure all my local shops will have Hyrule Warriors on release day. Shops prefer to stock Wii U exclusives as main priority.
@Extremist : I live in Norway too. I don't think you need to pre-order. Just buy the game in a local store, and scan reciept.
Its only a costume anyway, and not a big deal to me.
@AcesHigh73 : Don't forget the awesome Splinter Cell Blacklist which was very good online and offline.
I own 40 Retail games on Wii U, but Blacklist is the one i played most of them all. ~100 hours on Wii U version, and ~60 hours on Xbox 360 version.
@DefHalan : It may be delayed so they can include all DLC on disc fore free.
A barebone release won't sell much unless its cheap.
But why going head to head with Smash Bros instead of Mario Kart 8?
Is it so they can blame poor sales again?
Why are UBI doing anything they can to sell bad on Wii U anyway, then blame bad sales.
I liked the game, but i have a break to wait on the patch.
I don't believe this, because the game was delayed only because of Namco.
I made this news on IRC, and a guy on IRC posted it on GoNintendo.
@Captain_Gonru : Same here. I prefer physical. Still, i buy Indie's now and then. I would never buy a retail game as download. Downloads always costs more than physical disc too which is silly.
This movie have some fans, so it wont be the worst selling movie.
Ron Jeremy was most peoples favourite. Since he was a legendary porn actor, Nintendo wouldn't hire him.
They could change all actors, and the movie was poopeydoggiepoo.
It needed a proper director in the first place.
I hoped that there would be some Indie sales for Wii U. Especially on "How to Survive" which is worth much less due to lack of online.
Cubemen 2 with cross platform play, level sharing etc. looks like a must buy thou.
@Pod: Okay then.
Anyways. This DLC will probably sell 1 million on Wii U. If this was a 3rd party racing game, they would be lucky to sell 1000 depending on how much the game sold.
Hell.. Its hard to sell 500.000 on third party games on Wii U, and MK 8 sold 3 millions "in short time".
Most Wii U users bought Wii U for the Nintendo games and not third party games. I'm one of the big 3rd party supporters on Wii U, so there will be less for me to buy.
@Jazzer94 : So you are telling us that economics is 100% the same in countries worldwide? Its obvious that the prices and salaries is different from country to country. Since you didn't know, food prices differs too. Isn't it ignorant to say otherwise?
PS: Don't tell me China, Hungary, Somalia, India etc.. have same salaries and money power as Germany, Norway, UK, Denmark etc.
@awesomeunclet : I tried again 1 hour ago, then the update was here.
Mercedes Roadsters was easy to win with, but probably have same specs as a kart i never used.
Since Mercedes is separate DLC, i think its optional to have it ingame.
I just pre-ordered both DLC packs at the awesome price and downloaed Mercedes DLC.
16 brand new tracks, new karts, characters etc. was indeed cheap DLC.
At the moment of writing, MK 8 patch is not online yet in EU. The game refuse to recognise the Mercedes DLC until the patch is out.

Ecology of the Marine Fishes of Cuba
moreSituated at the convergence of the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba's coastal waters are home to one of the most diverse fish faunas in the Western Hemisphere. However, until now, information in English about Cuban marine fishes and their habitats has been limited. This comprehensive guide to the region's fishes fills that void.
Originally published in Spanish in 1994, Ecology of the Marine Fishes of Cuba has been completely updated and revised for this English edition. The book collects and expands on the findings of more than 20 years of work by and international team of ichthyologists and marine biologists studying the coastal fishes and habitats of Cuba. In chapters arranged topically, the thirteen contributors detail the physical characteristics of the Cuban coast; document the physiology, behavior, reproduction, feeding patterns, and growth patterns of the region's fishes; and survey Cuba's fisheries management programs.
The result is an unparalleled integration of English- and Spanish-language references on coastal fishes of the western Atlantic, complete with a comprehensive bibliography that constitutes a valuable reference in its own right. The extensive information presented here establishes an important foundation for comparisons of regional biological variations and demonstrates the need for proactive habitat and fishery management policies in the area. less

Literary Hook: Poem draws parallels between wisdom and the fruition of a garden
By Christine Swanberg
Author and Poet
The end of summer draws near. The garden has come to fruition. Here is a sonnet that compares wisdom to the fruition of a garden, sometimes uncontrollable. Like the end of a gardening season, wisdom comes with age. If you are a gardener or a person seeking wisdom, I hope the poem will speak to you.
Wisdom's Wild Fruition
Because the price of wisdom is so high…
Like trumpet vines in wild fruition,
Wisdom tangles and spirals toward the sky
And cannot be controlled. Come, completion
Of roots, bulbs, and seeds. Flowers and trees
Become. Deep within the soil grow.
Essence of red roses in summer's breeze.
Yet inward, wisdom to the rich river
Goes, nourished by the inland sea's fresh flow.
Then the receiver becomes the giver.
The price of wisdom is so high because
Paradise is a garden returned to
Bruised, where only mercy and nature's laws
Inform the open heart. Red nose renew.
Christine Swanberg is a local author and poet who has written several books of poetry.
